Crash involvement of an estimated 1,624 intermediate drivers was prevented in the first year after the NJ GDL decal's implementation, as well as a 9% decrease in the rate of police-reported crashes among intermediate drivers and a 14% increase in GDL-related citations issued to intermediate drivers. States considering implementing decals can look to NJ’s experience to shape their strategies.
